I'm pretty stoked about it because I bought passes to both weekends in the early bird sale. After seeing the lineups I was trying to sell my July ticket and was getting worried I was going to take a huge loss on it, but now they're fully refunding the July weekend. |
I thought it was pretty cool of them to just be very open and honest about the cancellation right on the front page of the website. Many concert/festival cancellations come with secrecy, little notice and very cryptic, if not non existent comments.

“The Sasquatch! community has spoken. They continue to support the traditional Memorial Day Weekend event with great enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the second weekend was not embraced. We felt it was better to cancel the new event now and give everyone time to make alternative plans for the Fourth of July weekend. Going forward, Sasquatch! Music Festival will be at the Gorge Amphitheatre on the weekend the fans want: Memorial Day Weekend only

I guess it wold probably be different if fans were cold to the entire festival as opposed to an extra weekend they added for the first time, as it allows them to say "Hey, thanks for still supporting the main event, we've heard you on the second weekend", as opposed to "Hey fans, we've heard your complaints about the entire festival and are shutting down everything, thanks for the lack of support!!!".
